Hostel *Spoilers*

from the trailer i saw, I was somewhat expecting it to be a bit ridiculous, but then i'm not one for gore/horror films, they just don't do anything for me.

I was prepared to go and see it, as I normally like tarrantino stuff, but if hes just added his name, I think i'll give it a miss, as well as it not sounding that great from what you guys have said.
 
There was these 3 blokes who went backpacking and they ended up in a hostel.
Two of them were taken to an old works and had horrible things done to them and died.
The living one ended up there but escaped and got his revenge.
The overall message is 'Don't go backpacking especially if you see that tattoo on somebody".

Told you I was intellectual.

You nearly sold another ticket for this film before this post.
 
Average film at best I reckon, far too much of the film is wasted on following the 3 blokes around doing nothing interesting and then the gore at the end is fairly funny. Can't say it scared me at all. I would give it 5/10 but only because of the boobs/hand cutting, without this it would be a 1 or 2/10 in my opinion...
 
This has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen. I can't believe that QT directed it and also that it's meant to be an 18!

I was laughing (and crying at some points) all the way through it - and that's coming from someone who doesn't watch horror movies!

But Tarantino didnt direct it! as I posted on the first page of the thread he was executive producer (basically he probably looked at it once) he didnt write it either. Eli Roth (cabin fever) was the guy to blame for that.

Afraid to say you got conned by the trailers sticking his name on there for the sole reason of conning people into thinking it was one of his films.

So for anyone thinking this is the "new" Tarantino movie IT'S NOT (god knows why he sticks his name on garbage like this cos its only damaging his reputation) .
 
I really hate all that "Tarantino Presents" rubbish.
Especially when he sticks his name on good stuff.
Hero and Iron Monkey spring to mind.
Grrrrrr :mad:

Did you like pulp fiction, resoviour dogs, dusk till dawn?
 
Indeed I did.
But at least Quentin had something to do with the creation of them.(Screenplay on Dusk til Dawn)

I just don't like someone being credited with a film they had nothing/extremely little to do with.
 
*bring on the flames*

i thought it was really good, most ppl are talked to said it was basically a sort core porn movie for the first half and then gore for the last half. possible a good summation of the film.

I like how they bumped off josh about half way through, it kinda eased things in, and then his m8 searching for him was good then he gets captured.

I think they missed out in not showing OLI being killed, but i can understand why they did it as its better to bump of a main character first instead of a support player, BUT any1 that makes a reservation under "the king of swing" is a legend lol.

my only gripes with the film were that they didn't really explain the whole situation etc, abit of backstory to the reason why the "hostel" was there, and who started it would have been really good, and like some1 said a villain would have been good like the boss of it.

WHen pax runs them 2 girls and that dude over i was all like, DAM RIGHT SUCKERS! sure them girls were dam sexy but i woulda killed them as well for that.

Did any1 else find it really funny how pax kept trying to keep hold of his fingers? I was laughing to myself and saying "what u doing you numpty, your hands been cut in half, its not like your gonna sew them back on and it will be fine just leave them lol.

I saw hills have eyes in the same week at the pics as well, and overall as a horror fan i would recommend it more over hostel.

I give hostel 7/10 but with more backstory and abit longer it would easily be a 9/10.

Oh come on, that was such a cop out. Someone couldn't work out how to 'tie' that end up, so coincidently they were put in the road, along with the guy from Amsterdam (I mean please, how desperate for closure do you need to be - what the hell was he doing there?!), to be ran over.
 
maybe he was there to see if his recommendation had turned up, or maybe to pick up his money seens as the guys he told to go there did thus the hostel made money.
 
I don't think Octagon was questioning why the Amsterdam dude was there.
(although it did sound like it)

Its just all a bit neat.
3 people who stitched him up the most just happen to be stood in the middle of the road in front of his car at the same time.

That's just lazy film making. And its not even amusing in a cheesy way.
